Query.

If Prohibitory laws do not prohibit the sal Q
of whiskey. why should the wiskey men be
So much opposed to The law If such laws do
not prohibit why Is Il that the distillers and
wholesale dealers contribute so freely of their
money to defeat prohibitory laws in distant
States? If the whiskey men are willing 50

they opposed to an expression Of opinion by
the people? II prohibition doesn't prohibit

Let it he understood that the temperance

neglect or refuse to put the necessary laws on

The High Water In AuSnsta.

Our people have taken tho greatest interest
In getting news from the flood in Augusta.
ENQUIRIES were frequently made at the print
ing Offices, and every day people were anx-
ious to see the newspapers, and in some In.
stances, wien paper could be had, 1t was
passed from one TO another until 1t was well
worn. The Chronicles account was more ex'
tensive than we can find room for, and there
fore take advantage of the more condensed
account of the Neaos and Courier. Augusta
has many friends In Abbeville and whatever
affects that city excites the liveliest interest.
We are glad TO note that the damage Is not
ss great as 1t was thought TO be at one time

WE have received from Rev. w. smith Mar
tin of I.owndesville, an elaborate reply to the
sermon of Dr. LINDSAY, which we published u
week or two ago. We cannot publish it tn IS
week, but we will publish 1t. Both SIDES VIII
then have had a hearing, and we hope tha'
each may then be satisfied. This Ia secular
ewspaper whose columns are always open to
good gospel sermons but it Is not much on re-
llyious controversies, and we hope the breth-

OUR people were delighted with Rev. r. D.
Smart's sermon before the Bible S"riety last
Wednesday. 1t Is regarded by many persons
as an exceedingly able deliverance. So I'M
pressed were we with 1t. that we asked FOR
copy OF it for publ cation. but the preacher
had not written II out. Every one speaks oi
the sermon In the most complimentary terms.
As for oursclf we believe 1t was the best pre-
sentation OF the claims of the heather thai
we have ever heard. 1t WIS in fact, mis-
sionary sermon of no ordinary force.

Somebody has Concocted a story to
The effect that Commissioner Sparks Of
the General Land Office has written
letters to certain New York politicians
in favor of Governor llill rs the next
Democratic candidate for the Presi.
dency; that the letters are In the hands
OF Edward s. Stokes OF the Hoffman
House, AMI that Ey Congressman
Frank lIurd knows MI about them, but
says the time t. not yet ripe for thcir
publication. This story forms the
burden Of 9pceinl dispatch sent ont
last evening 10 the Chicago Inter-
Occda and the Baltimore Imcr",H.
There are such obyiou, lmproblblli
ties In the narrative that It lacks even
Il Z. interest Of d romance. In the first
place, we are not prepared to believe
tlat General Sparks Is cnnspirlng to
defeat the denomination OF the Prcsl-
dent, by whom he was commissioned
TO an important Office. Even II he were

possessed Of so lttlls discretion as to
inculpatc hin self ON paper and then
permit the evidence of his conspiracy

for Mr.. lIurd = action are absurd upon
their face. We are tuli that when he
was approached on the subject he was
very guarded" and "uncommuuicl.
tive" yet in almost the same breath he
is permitted to stultlfy himself by stat.
ing that the eliminating letters are in
existence, but owing to his peculiar
relations to San Francisco bank

anxious that nothing should he said

the letters and that they disclose a pur.
pose on the part Of General Sparks to
undermine the President he says 1t all.
To have divulged their contents cor-
bdiim would have been no more and no
worse. We, therefore, take it for
granted that Mr.. Hurd never said what
is imputed to him, that Mr. Stokes does
not hold the letters subject 10 Mr.,
